“Amazonia White,” created by Lygia Pape in 1989, is an installation artwork that falls under the Neo-Concretism art movement. This piece reflects a genre that focuses on abstract expression and minimalistic aesthetics, conveying ideas and emotions through geometric forms and spatial play.
The artwork features a minimalist design, dominated by a white color palette. It consists of a flat, circular disc attached to a square base, both elements rendered in a pristine white hue. The disc is positioned at an angle to the square base, creating a dynamic interplay of shapes and surfaces. The use of reflection and shadow adds depth to the otherwise simple composition, evoking a sense of movement and fluidity within the rigid geometric forms. The installation’s stark simplicity draws attention to its subtle intricacies and invites contemplation of the spatial relationships and the purity of form.
